Don't bother with humi solution, freshly boiled water in a ramekin inside a large container.
I have this permanently in use rotating the packs between the scubador and tub every month or so
Boiling the water kills any nasties and the steam also gives you a head start.

O OK....I thought it would have had to be distilled water...that's what I've been using...haven't recharged the large pack...but recharged the smaller ones very easily.Originally posted by Budgie Smuggler View PostDon't bother with humi solution, freshly boiled water in a ramekin inside a large container.

I have used the method above and it works fine. The recharged packs keep a constant humidity

Strangely enough, I experimented with the totally submerged method on a couple of oldies I had kicking about.
They filled up in three days. Some had previously had large-ish lumps of salt in there and that completely dissolved. Full as f*ck now although as you can see, one came apart at the edge, revealing the inner permeable liner/pouch.
I dried them in a few hours in a tea towel. They don't seem to have been adversely effected. I'm going to give this method a go again, with some large ones and control it better in terms of pre and post weight and a determined time. To be honest, I'm unsure as to how the 'paper' would stand up over repeated goes at this, but it was interesting to put this method to the test and satisfy my curiosity."Go you good things...geddem int'ya"

They look a bit to filled...but cantvsee why it wouldn't work.... Just the amount of water may damage the outer layer over time....Originally posted by cj121 View PostStrangely enough, I experimented with the totally submerged method on a couple of oldies I had kicking about.

I suppose the best way to know when they are full recharged is when the pack reaches the packed weight... So 60g or 8g for the little one.

They can overfill as I have done that. Several recharges kind of perishes the outer packaging

I speed things up by butting the Tupperware on the tumble dryer in our laundry cupboard. If a bag splits it will ruin the cigars so the submerged recharge is at your peril Beryl [emoji85][emoji204][emoji87]

Just buy them if needed, Boveda really aren't expensive, last for ages and do a great job, please don't risk putting another great company out of business!Comment
